Bharat Electronics to develop bomb diffusal robots in collaboration with DRDO
Bharat Electronics to develop bomb diffusal robots in collaboration with DRDO. Bharat Electronics, which operates in the aerospace and defense sector, has signed a pact with the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), to set up labs in four cities.
Multiple agreements to boost defense
The firm has also signed a joint development agreement with IIT Madras, to collaborate in the field of quantum science and tech. On the other hand, its deal with DRDO involves the manufacturing of missile components, bomb diffusal robots, and aerial electronic warfare systems. The robots to be developed by BEL and Defence Research in Pune will be capable of diffusing air-dropped bombs and will be controlled from a distance.
Robots, radars, and more in store
Deals in Hyderabad and Dehradun will help BEL create laser based end game fuze for missiles, to detonate explosives when a target of interest is detected. Digital radar warning mechanisms will be developed as part of the company’s commitment with the center for the development and integration of combat aircraft systems in Bengaluru. The enhanced radar systems will allow aircraft to achieve accuracy against the dense signal.
